SNAYX have announced Greed, their first album, for February 19, 2027. The thirteen-track record includes the new song “Gold Star,” and a UK and European tour follows in the spring. Tickets go on general sale tomorrow, October 16, at 10am BST. There is a long wait for the album, but not for anyone planning which show to attend.
The band’s description of Greed puts appetite at its centre: for wealth, influence, attention and affection. Its targets extend beyond politicians to the extremely rich, people chasing recognition and the band themselves. That last part is worth keeping in view. A record about greed can simply point at villains; this outline also leaves room to ask how ordinary desires become destructive.
The story ideas are strange enough to stand apart from a straightforward protest record. There is a dying billionaire bargaining over Mars, for instance, and a future state restricting personal freedoms. These are fictional scenarios in the band’s account of the album. The same account also describes everyday people falling into self-destructive habits. Greed, in this telling, has consequences beyond the people who hold the most power.
On the CD running order, “Gold Star” sits fourth and “Lost Cause” follows it. “Everything (Interlude)” comes next, before “Brain Cellz” and “Mouthfeel.” That interruption is something to listen for in February: does it change the direction of the record, or simply give the listener a breath? The list gives us a question to take into the album, even before we can hear the whole sequence.
Three useful UK dates to put beside the album release are:
- March 10: The Cluny, Newcastle — the opening date on the published route.
- March 25: Scala, London — near the end of the UK run.
- March 27: Concorde 2, Brighton — the last UK stop listed before the European dates.
Newcastle falls nineteen days after Greed comes out. That gives a ticket holder almost three weeks to get to know the full record before the first show. Paris follows on May 4, with the European route continuing through the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and the Czech Republic before Sweden and Norway. Oslo closes the published itinerary on May 22.
The nineteen-day gap makes this a different prospect from the Wombats’ two-part anniversary concerts, which promise their first album in full. SNAYX have not made a complete-album pledge. Instead, fans have a short stretch to spend with a debut before discovering its live shape. For us, that is a good reason to hear Greed beyond the singles: you can arrive with favourites of your own, then see which ones the band carry into the set.
